ABSTRACT In the lower chamber of pressurized water reactor (PWR), the flow distribution device is the core module to distribute coolant into the core. It has complex structure and numerous design parameters. Therefore, it has important theoretical and practical significance to optimize the device. The mesh independence verification, turbulence model selection, and data processing all can influence the numerical simulation results of the lower chamber, in order to research the influence, a numerical simulation method based on the original model of CNP1000 reactor lower chamber is proposed in this paper. In the method, an optimization design method of flow distribution device is established based on surrogate model. The main design variables and optimization objectives are determined based on the device’s structure and function characteristics. And then it respectively adopts Kriging algorithm and multi-objective genetic algorithm to establish a surrogate model of flow distribution device and optimize it globally. Finally, the optimal design variables are obtained. Compared with the device’s performance before optimization, the after optimization has smaller total pressure loss and more uniform flow. The effectiveness and practicability of proposed optimization design method can be verified. 相似文献
Electronic sensors based on biomaterials can lead to novel green technologies that are low cost, renewable, and eco-friendly. Here we demonstrate bioelectronic ammonia sensors made from protein nanowires harvested from the microorganism Geobacter sulfurreducens. The nanowire sensor responds to a broad range of ammonia concentrations (10 to 106 ppb), which covers the range relevant for industrial, environmental, and biomedical applications. The sensor also demonstrates high selectivity to ammonia compared to moisture and other common gases found in human breath. These results provide a proof-of-concept demonstration for developing protein nanowire based gas sensors for applications in industry, agriculture, environmental monitoring, and healthcare.
An efficient strategy for addressing individual devices is required to unveil the full potential of memristors for high-density memory and computing applications. Existing strategies using two-terminal selectors that are preferable for compact integration have trade-offs in reduced generality or functional window. A strategy that applies to broad memristors and maintains their full-range functional window is proposed. This strategy uses a type of unipolar switch featuring a transient relaxation or retention as the selector. The unidirectional current flow in the switch suppresses the sneak-path current, whereas the transient-relaxation window is exploited for bidirectional programming. A unipolar volatile memristor with ultralow switching voltage (e.g., <100 mV), constructed from a protein nanowire dielectric harvested from Geobacter sulfurreducens, is specifically employed as the example switch to highlight the advantages and scalability in the strategy for array integration. 相似文献
With the rapid development of rare earth industry in China,high NH3-N and high salts wastewater generated in rare earth manufacture process had caused serious environment pollution especially for surrounding water body.Traditional treatment processes were either incapable of reducing pollutants concentration to the levels regulated by law or prohibitively expensive and difficult to operate.In this paper,a hybrid process which integrated air stripping pretreatment and low pressure reverse osmosis(LPRO) was proposed to treat this wastewater containing high ammonia and salt.Mechanism of treatment and remediation of ammonia and salt polluted water body was investigated.Influences of temperature,pH,and air stripping time on removal ratio of ammonia efficiencies were also discussed.Relationship among trans-membrane pressure drop(ΔP),additions ratio,stability of membrane and the possibility of water reuse were studied.The results showed that removal ratio of ammonia after LPRO desalination process could reach up to 98%,fluoride amounted to more than 99% and desalt efficiencies reached up to 95%,and stripped gas ammonia could be effectively recovered.Water quality had been improved significantly to meet reuse or discharge standards. 相似文献
Combined time- and wavelength-division-multiplexing demodulation technique of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor arrays using a tunable pulsed laser is proposed and demonstrated. A tunable fiber laser based on a matched FBG is applied. The wavelengths of the sensing FBGs are obtained by detecting the maximum voltages with a photodiode that avoids the complex demodulation process. The advantages of this scheme are simple structure, high signal-to-noise ratio, and the sensing signals obtained by detecting the maximum voltages. 相似文献
